Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The two daughter cells produced in mitosis contain ____ DNA
A
Identical
B
Unique
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies-or ‘replicates’-its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore the answer that the 2 daughter cells contain equal genetic as the mother cell is correct. So the answer option ‘the same amount of DNA and the same set of chromosomes as those of the parent cell’ is correct.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as compared to their parents (one copy of each chromosome). The resulting cells from meiosis are not genetically identical because of the recombination of genes that occurred during prophase 1. Sex cells in humans are produced by meiosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes. Daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes. Daughter cells are genetically identical with each cell and with the parent cell.
